Eared metal food-heating tray for microwave oven

ABSTRACT

A kind of metal food-heating tray for microwave oven that comprising a metal tray, characterized in that insulating ears are symmetrically distributed on the edge of the metal tray. The eared metal food-heating tray for microwave oven in this utility model is scientific in design and reasonable in structure. The insulating ears on two sides of the tray can make the operation and utilization of metal tray more convenient and thereby the tray can be taken with hand regardless of the high temperature of the foods in the tray and the hotness of the tray itself. In order to make the metal food-heating tray applicable to microwave oven-used rotating trays made of different materials, insulating stands may be evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the eared metal food-heating tray for microwave oven in this utility model.

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority of Chinese Patent ApplicationNo. 01233932.6, filed on Aug. 10, 2001.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present utility model relates to a tray of microwave oven,especially a kind of eared metal food-heating tray for microwave oven.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

[0003] As a new type of food heater, the microwave oven has been widelyused among the consumers. The conventional rotating trays used inmicrowave ovens are made of glass to facilitate penetration ofmicrowave. Therefore, non-metal trays are generally used for heatingfoods in the microwave oven. Said non-metal trays are generally thickglass trays or ceramic trays. With the advancement of researches on theheating principle of microwave oven, microwave oven rotating trays madeof metallic materials have been put on the market, such as metal enamelrotating trays that are characterized by light weight and strongdurability, and can fully satisfy the requirement of application as anauxiliary part of microwave oven in performance. Now that microwave ovencan use metal enamel rotating tray, it's undoubted that metal tray canbe used for containing foods. Therefore, metal food-heating trays formicrowave oven have appeared in the market. Metal food-heating trays areadvantageous because they are thinner, more compact, less fragile, andeasier to clean. However, because of quick heat conduction, the metaltray may burn hand when it is taken out of the oven.

CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present utility model eliminates the aforementioned defect ofthe metal food-heating tray by providing a kind of eared metalfood-heating tray for microwave oven that is reasonable in structure andconvenient for use.

[0005] The eared metal food-heating tray for microwave oven in thepresent utility model comprises a metal tray, characterizing insulatingears symmetrically distributed on the edge of the metal tray.

[0006] The eared metal food-heating tray for microwave oven in thepresent utility model is scientific in design and reasonable instructure. The insulating ears on two sides of the tray can make theoperation and utilization of metal tray more convenient and thereby thetray can be taken with hand regardless of the high temperature of thefoods in the tray and the hotness of the tray itself. In order the makethe metal food -heating tray applicable to microwave oven-used rotatingtrays made of different materials, insulating stands may be evenlydistributed on the bottom surface of the eared metal food-heating trayfor microwave oven in this utility model.

[0007] The particular structure of the eared metal food-heating tray formicrowave oven in this utility model are as shown in the followingdrawings and embodiment.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS:

THE OPTIMUM EMBODIMENT

[0010] From FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, It is clearly shown that this is acircular metal food-heating tray; insulating ears 2 are symmetricallydistributed on the edge of metal tray 1; there are insulating stands 4on the bottom surface 3 of the metal tray 1; the insulating stands 4 aresymmetrically distributed on the bottom surface 3 of the metal tray 1;the insulating ears 2 and the insulating stands 4 are stuck on the metaltray 1 through vulcanization. The said insulating ears 2 and theinsulating stands 4 are made by rubber.
